Zhu Qing looked at Lan Yunyi as if she had a very good idea, and her hanging heart was also put down.

She was a little curious, so she asked, "Could it be that the person who sent the assassin today is really Concubine Zhen?" Then what else are you going to do in her palace? ”

Lan Yunyi smiled at her, "No, the person who sent the assassin is the queen. ”

"Queen? I had removed their limbs, they were in excruciating pain, and they were three-legged cat kung fu, not a first-class Deadpool, maybe to survive, to tell the truth. ”

Zhu Qing frowned.

"I also had this doubt when I was tempted, but in the end, they cut themselves off for the sake of secrecy, and they still used that cruel way, which shows that they were lying in the past."

Zhu Qing listened to Lan Yunyi's words, and also figured out the trick, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Lan Yunyi's eyes with a little more admiration.

"The queen, as the mother of a country, openly assassinated, should we make this matter public?"

Now let's not mention it, the things in the Queen Mother's palace have not had any impact after all, and the emperor will not embarrass the queen too much. There is no evidence for this matter, so we can only wait for the punishment of several crimes in the future, and hit it with one blow. ”

When Lan Yunyi said this, Zhu Qing knew it in her heart, so she didn't ask again.

But Lan Yunyi looked at the dark and unfamiliar palace road in front of her, but a little uneasiness rose in her heart.

The assassin was sent by the queen to kill her, but what about the old lady just now? Who caused her death?

How many killings and secrets are hidden in this huge palace?

And how much of the things inside have to do with her? Who contributed to the tragedy of her previous life?

But in her previous life, she didn't even set foot in the palace gate......

At this moment, Lan Yunyi didn't know everything.

Pick up the palace

When Lan Yunyi arrived at the gate of the Cuifang Palace, he was still a little surprised.

She thought that the favored Concubine Zhen would be so magnificent in the palace, but the Chufang Palace in front of her was a little dim.

The candles were probably only lit in the inner hall, and there were only a few little eunuchs guarding the door of the Chufang Palace, still yawning.

When Lan Yunyi entered the inner hall, Concubine Zhen seemed to have heard what had just happened on the road, and when she saw her, she hurriedly stood up and led her to the couch.

The lights in the hall were bright, but they clearly reflected the exhaustion and haggard on Concubine Zhen's face.

She saw Lan Yunyi and smiled slightly: "This palace has also heard what happened to you just now—how is it?" You okay? ”

Lan Yunyi shook her head, and couldn't wait to ask: "I'm fine, but an old lady from the Huanyi Bureau I met on the road suddenly died violently, Yun Yi wants to ask you, can you know the background of this grandmother?" ”

Concubine Zhen raised her eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, and only after the little palace maid who led the way explained a little, Concubine Zhen opened her mouth unexpectedly.

"She-she's dead?"

"You know her?" Lan Yunyi's tone was a little anxious.

"She is an old man in the palace, she used to serve by the side of the first emperor, she was originally very popular with the first emperor, but she didn't know what mistakes she made, she was demoted to the Huanyi Bureau, and she stayed there for the rest of her life."

Concubine Zhen didn't know anything, but seeing that Lan Yunyi was so curious, she thought that she was frightened by today's events, so she told it one by one.

"She used to serve by the side of the Emperor?"

But she herself has never heard of it, nor has she ever seen the first emperor!

Lan Yunyi pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When did she enter the palace?" Have you ever been out of the palace since then, or have you served by someone else's side? ”

"I entered the palace when I was young, and I didn't leave the palace or serve around anyone else." Concubine Zhen said with great certainty.

Lan Yunyi pinched her fingers.

In order to avoid being too obvious and making Yan Yinxiao suspicious, he will not be able to ask for a while. Since she was in the palace at the moment, she went to check if there was anything wrong with the first emperor.

The two then chatted around the chrysanthemum banquet a few days later, and when it came to the chrysanthemum banquet, Concubine Zhen's eyes were a little more lonely: "This is still what His Majesty handed over to the palace in the past, and it is probably the last time." ”

Lan Yunyi's eyes widened in surprise.

Concubine Zhen sighed: "This palace has not been able to have a sacred heart recently, and it has fallen out of favor for a long time. I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you in the future, so I will tell you about the places you should pay attention to, and I hope that you will hold a grand chrysanthemum feast, so that Your Majesty can see my hard work......"

Her voice was a little plaintive.

Lan Yunyi was secretly taken aback, she looked at Concubine Zhen's peerless face under the candlelight, and remembered the love between the emperor and Concubine Zhen in the past.

She can only sigh that all men in the world are not good things!

"Concubine Yuan is now in power, and the scenery is unique, and recently she even took her cousin to the palace to accompany her to relieve her boredom. His Majesty didn't know how he was fascinated by her, it was like a completely different person, and he let her do anything. ”

A completely changed person?

Lan Yunyi listened and tilted her head.

"There is also Concubine Li, Concubine Li is pregnant, Your Majesty used to attach a lot of importance to the imperial heir, although now because of Concubine Yuan, she doesn't even care about her own heirs, but you also need to be careful."

Lan Yunyi listened and nodded slightly.

Since the emperor doesn't even care about his own heirs recently, and presumably he won't deal with the queen strictly, then the one she needs to be most careful about at the moment is probably the queen.

But the emperor made such a change...... It's really weird.

Concubine Zhen was talking, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but her eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a bit of gossip.

"I heard that Lan Chongzhou, the fourth young master of the Lan Mansion, didn't take the martial arts test, and actually went to the city gate to be a guard, Yun Yi, do you know why?"

Lan Chongzhou?

Lan Yunyi was slightly stunned.

"Oh, yes, yes. Now he is no longer on duty at the gate of the capital, he recently entered the palace, it seems that he is ...... for you? ”

Concubine Zhen said, casting her curious gaze on Lan Yunyi's face again.
